Detroit fans react as Lions pick Clemson OT Blake Miller
Here's the best reactions as the Detroit Lions pick Clemson offensive tackle Blake Miller in the 2026 NFL Draft.
After patiently waiting through the first 16 selections in the first round of the 2026 NFL Draft on Thursday night, the Detroit Lions have chosen Clemson offensive tackle Blake Miller with their No. 17 overall draft pick . A 6-foot-6, 317-pound offensive tackle, Miller is viewed as a plug-and-play option in this draft class and a potential foundational pick, especially with the departure of veteran Taylor Decker.
The first-round choice is exactly what Detroit needed to address with its lone first-round selection. Here are some of the best social media reactions from Lions fans on general manager Brad Holmes' draft choice: GREAT PICK BRAD โ ๐๐ฅ๐ข ๐๐ข๐ฑ๐ฏ๐ฌ๐ฆ๐ฑ ๐๐ฆ๐ช๐ข๐ฐ ๐ฐ (@the_det_times) April 24, 2026 pic. twitter.
